The test server is a Sun V210 running

(Solaris 10u2 fully patched as of ~4 weeks ago)
I've compiled Cyrus as a 64-bit application:
# file /opt/cyrus/bin/imapd
/opt/cyrus/bin/imapd: ELF 64-bit MSB executable SPARCV9 Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped
CFLAGS="-g -fPIC" ./configure \

Without the patches I get a lot of Bus errors in various processes,
examples below - as you can see they're all related to an unaligned 64-bit
dereference.
Program terminated with signal 10, Bus error.
